I couldn't even imagine someone like KA as Lois.  LLC would be better.  I always thought someone like Lisa Peluso would be good though.

Brianna Brown seems like she's better as a villian and/or vixen so it's hard for me to picture her as lame Belle.  

That's a good one too.

If Kristian Alfonso joined B&B, why not as Margo? She's Ridge's ex, and could be a good foe for Kristen Forrester (because of their Clarke days.) Margo with Bill Spencer Jr would be an interesting story. I'd love to see Kristian as Margo up against Quinn, Brooke.

This may be unpopular, but I don't need to see KA anywhere but on Days.  She's good as Hope, but she's not anything spectacular to make another role work well.   There are plenty other out of work soap actresses in her age range I would prefer to get job.  The door is wide open for her at days so I just wouldn't want her anywhere else.

Again, I don't see a point in recasting Lois with Olivia around, and LLC was the perfect Lois recast (and is basically playing her onscreen). I wouldn't blink if she came back as Lois after Olivia ran off with Johnny Zacchara, but otherwise as is I just don't see a point.

I do think Kristian would've had a ball playing a recurring part as a mob queen on Guza's GH - the dialogue she could've been given! - but today, eh.

The wink to DAYS fans would be fantastic. And KA's Taylor could treat one of Gina's models (see below) for an anxiety disorder when walking the runway...she meets Dr. Finnegan in the hallways...the storyline writes itself. 

A modelling agent whose ice cold would be amazing. I remember a number of posters, myself included, hoped for this when she left DAYS.

Kristian excelled on MP when playing a total bitch. 

Margo needs to be held for Lauren Koslow to play when/if DAYS is cancelled and she needs to re-up her SAG/AFTRA insurance in her retirement.

I'd take Laura Leighton on any soap as any character. How about Patty on Y&R? Patty going after Jack and putting her head-to-head with Phyllis. Flirt with Nick, Billy. Y&R desperately needs someone like Laura Leighton and she still looks amazing.

Also, Thomas falling for the wounded woman is in character, so he falls for this new model, leading to development for him, and perhaps a decent redemption. We would also do a go casting couch story with Bill, a la Weinstien with bill and these younger girls, and so much more!

Agree on Alexa Havins or Stephanie Gatschet as Lulu, if they decide to re-cast in lieu of Emme Rylan or Julie Berman.  I just wish GH would bring Lulu back, a long with Lucky.  Laura needs both of her kids with Luke on the show!!

  Agreed, loved Julie Pinson as Eve on PORT CHARLES and as Billie on DAYS

    • Except she never worked there at all and barely even knew where the Chancellor Industries plant was located  In 1980, Kay attempted to install Derek Thurston (her third husband) in a position at Chancellor Industries.  The show introduced a character named George Packard who'd supposedly been running Chancellor since Phillip's demise in 1975.  (George Packard's storyline in 1980 was attempting to keep Derek Thurston from bankrupting the company.)   We didn't hear much of anything about Chancellor Industries for the next twenty-five years.  Then, at that point, we met Eliot Hampton (?) who'd been running the company for decades and had been embezzling from it.  Jill took it upon her herself to oust Eliot Hampton (?) and take control of the company.  That's when Kay became actively involved in the management of the company.  From 1974 till 2004 Kay Chancellor was strictly a hands-off owner.  It was downright absurd that the last ten years of life, she was written as this formidable businesswoman who'd always been involved in Chancellor Industries.  
    • Well, it's going to be something when he finds out the truth.  Agreed.  On that note, I can't until it all comes out. I find Lulu to be ridiculous. 
    • I almost posted this because that was my initial reaction too:  this is weird/cringe, to sing around a piano after such a huge family shattering bomb was dropped.  But I got over that and just enjoyed her voice, the song and the montage we saw as everyone's emotions in the aftermath were pouring out.
    • The Equalizer original series was not a big hit yet it became a movie franchise and got a reboot series. The Equalizer reboot lasted 5 seasons, so one season longer than the original series.
    • Today is Sean Freeman's birthday

      His social media/IMDb doesn't have his age but from some posts he's made, I'm guessing 1989 is his birth year.
    • Here's the timeline, as I recall it being published. The WGA strike was 5/2–9/27/2023 Annalynne McCord was announced as being hired in December 2023, for a one-year contract https://deadline.com/2024/06/days-of-our-lives-when-to-expect-annalynne-mccord-peacock-1235975806/ RonC's first scripts back from the strike began airing May 31, 2024 (around Konstantine & Maggie's wedding) https://www.tvinsider.com/1137709/days-of-our-lives-writers-return-15000th-episode-storylines/ Her first air date was June 19th 2024. The actress has said she was not told who she would be playing until she started taping. RonC 's replacements were announced July 2024, with his scripts airing through April 2025 Side note: DAYS social media team seems to be playing fast and loose with BTS videos, in terms of how far in advance they film content (e.g. their April Fools' Joke videos were clearly not filmed on 4/1/25), so we shouldn't assume anyone's current status, versus those who were there nine months ago.
    • April and her husband (Draper) are the "young leads" who tie all the storyline threads together.  They're normally in the center of the action.  In this particular storyline, Draper is the attorney who represents Paige Madison.  (The district attorney, Logan Swift, has given Paige Madison "temporary immunity from prosecution" if she will lead the police to the members of the Tobias Gang who stole the firearms.  But Paige mainly just ducks bullets from various gang members who pop-up to assassinate her.)    
    • It's one thing to post about a soap's rumors or gossip, which in point of fact we've all done. It's another to present yourself as the inside source who knows something to be fact that's about to break wide, then backtrack and call it just Twitter speculation. Between those two extreme poles you have to commit to one or the other. If I got something wrong, I'd say it. (Nor would I keep playing insider after what I pulled with Drake Hogestyn, which should've gotten someone permanently banned.) And regardless, you don't open with this 'news' you don't actually want to stand by yet by mocking DRW's extremely valid concerns re: how the Trina character and Tabyana Ali has been marginalized and put out to virtual pasture ever since the day NAC left. Her playing out her current contract in a C-storyline with Kai does not change that.
    • Yeah, I thought it would be more explosive or heated and it was kind of standard.  Both can do more with the material.  I just don't think the writing was there.
